1917 Erfurt

1 Attachment(s)

Serial #5571 Jj , all matching except receiver is MM Navy proofed. Chamber date is 1917. Erfurt crown on toggle has line missing in right side of crown. Isn't this normal for a 1917? Crown RC on barrel, rear toggle, and front of trigger guard. No proofs on screws. Nice gun in 90-95%.

Any thoughts on when the receiver was changed?

Bill, why would the receiver be changed, or am I confused on when the Navy stamps were added?

Bill,
I believe you have a Weimar arsenal rework. Navies were all DWM, to the best of my knowledge. The receiver is a DWM Navy. Also , there is no notch in the front of the receiver. Which an Erfurt receiver would have. The Erfurt toggle is a 1917 "Broken Crown". So for the most part it's all 1917. Looks like a nice clean Luger.
